When the axle is screwed all the way in then securely tighten using a 15mm wrench.
If removing a pedal, remember that the right pedal axle must be turned counter clockwise and
the left, clockwise ie. the reverse of when fitting. If replacing the original pedals with a new set,
make sure the size of the axle thread is compatible with the cranks on your bicycle. Bicycles use
one of two types of cranks and these use different axle threads. Your bike may be equipped with
cranks that are a one piece design with no separate axle. These operate with pedals that have a
1/2”(12.7mm) thread. Bikes equipped with three piece crank sets with a separate axle, left crank
and right crank, use a slightly larger 9/16”(14mm) thread.
Note : Never try and force a pedal with the wrong thread size into a bicycle crank.

Lubrication and Adjustment
Many pedals cannot be disassembled to allow access to the internal
bearings and axle. However, it is usually possible to inject a little oil
onto the inside bearings, and this should be done every six months.
If the pedal is the type that can be fully disassembled, then the bearings
should be removed, cleaned and greased every six to twelve months.
Because of the wide variety of pedal types and their internal
complexity, disassembly procedures are beyond the scope of this
manual and further assistance should be sought from a specialist.
Attachment
Note:
The right and left pedals of a bicycle each have a different thread
and are not interchangeable.
Never force a pedal into the incorrect crank arm.
The right pedal, which attaches to the chainwheel side, is marked ‘R’ on
the end of the axle, and screws in with a clockwise thread. The left
pedal, which attaches to the other crank arm, is marked ‘L’ on the axle,
and screws in with a counter clockwise thread.
Insert the correct pedal into the crank arm and begin to turn the thread
with your fingers only.
When the axle is screwed all the way in then securely tighten using a
15mm wrench.
If removing a pedal, remember that the right pedal axle must be turned
counter clockwise and the left, clockwise ie. the reverse of when fitting.

Clipless (“Step-In”) Pedals
clipless pedals (sometimes called “step-in pedals”) are the means most racers use to keep their
feet securely in the correct position for maximum pedalling efficiency. They work like ski bindings-
a plate on the sole of the shoe clicks into a spring-loaded fixture on the pedal.
Clipless pedals require shoes specifically designed for the make and model pedal being used.
Many clipless pedals are designed to allow the rider to adjust the amount of force needed to
engage or disengage the foot.
Your dealer can show you how to make this adjustment.
WARNING:
clipless pedals are intended for use
with shoes specifically made to fit them and are
designed to keep the foot firmly engaged with the
pedal.
WARNING: Once this technique is mastered, it is
safe to ride your bike.
Detailed maintenance
WARNING: Practice is required to learn to engage and disengage the foot safely.
Until engaging and disengagingthe foot becomes a reflex action, the technique requires
concentration which can distract the rider’s attention, causing the rider to lose control and
fall. Practice engaging and disengaging clipless pedals in a place where there are no obstacles,
hazards or traffic.
